It'd make a good scalloping rig though. Easy to get in and out of. Also self bailing, so if you DO get swamped, you just get you're feet wet! LOL

Sure would make it easier to pull them big ole gator trout in the boat! :D

Wouldn't have to worry about it sinking. It's already there.

All the joking aside, anybody know the motivation for that exact design?

Seems a bit small / underpowered to take too many folks scalloping... and a bit small for dragging many crab pots aboard. Sure make landing fish easier, I guess? Just drag them aboard. :lol:

They refer to it as a "Surf Rescue" boat. I assume it's designed that way to make it easier to pull drowning surfers into the boat.

Didn't pay attention to the title... not like they're going to need luck with that sale... because, you know, everybody needs a $7,500 rescue boat. :lol:
